Luxury For Export
Soon after the Portuguese opened the first direct sea route from Europe to Asia, they established trading centers in India and Sri Lanka. By the early 1500s, Europe had become avid consumers of luxury goods imported from South Asia. This book shows how the trade in exotica spurred the development of a hybrid art, at once Indian and Portuguese.
